KQBN-LP is a low-power television station licensed to Prescott, Arizona. The station is licensed to operate in analog on UHF channel 28 with Special Temporary Authorization from a temporary transmitter in the Bradshaw Mountains. KQBN-LP is owned by Una Vez Mas Holdings, LLC of Dallas, Texas.
[edit] History
An original construction permit for a low-power television station was granted on June 14, 1995 to Bruce Merrill, a pioneer in cable television service and cable television equipment manufacturing. The station was originally to broadcast as K69HL on UHF channel 69 from Mingus Mountain between Prescott Valley and Jerome, Arizona. Shortly afterward, the FCC granted the station authorization to move to UHF channel 28 with callsign K28FF, and to move the transmitter to Tower Mountain in the Bradshaw Mountains southeast of Prescott. The station licensed its modifications on December 23, 1997. In February 2000, Merrill sold the station to Tiger Eye Broadcasting Corp. of Miramar, Florida.
In February 2005, Tiger Eye agreed to sell K28FF to Una Vez Mas. The FCC approved the transaction in May and Una Vez Mas moved the call letters KQBN-LP to the station in November, but the transaction was not consummated until April 2006. In June 2005, Tiger Eye was granted a construction permit to move the station's transmitter location to the White Tank Mountains to the northwest of Phoenix to serve the rapidly-growing Northwest Valley cities, but in September 2006, Una Vez Mas determined that the White Tanks site was unsuitable and obtained Special Temporary Authorization to move to a new transmitter site in the Bradshaw Mountains not far from the original licensed site. Una Vez Mas gave no reason why the site would be unsuitable, but the signal for co-channel Class A station KCOS-LP was receivable in the primary area that would have been served by KQBN-LP under their construction permit. Also found is an FCC query application that lists KQBN-LP with an application for vacant channel 18.
[edit] KQBN call letters
The call letters KQBN-LP have previously been on low-power stations owned by Una Vez Mas in Phoenix (UHF channel 43 - now KEJR-LP) and in Tucson (UHF channel 14 - now KUDF-LP).
